5’10” tall Mohamed Bangura is also 21 years old, but 5 months older than Teteh, and he was born in Kambia, Sierra Leone and is also said to have Newcastle’s interest.

Mohamed Bangura

Mohamed’s natural position is forward, and he is described as a hard-working, powerful player with significant pace and possesses good technical skills.

AIK Sporting Director Jens Andersson has been talking to Fotbolldirekt.se today about Teteh, who is also supposedly being tracked by Ajax.

“The interest hasn’t faded, it’s no lower than a few months before.”

“I think that he has just become better and better. The big difference is that he so far hasn’t scored many goals, but they will come and I think that the clubs that follow him know that.”

“Foreign clubs see him in each game and they know what class he has. And there are more now than earlier this spring that follow Mohamed.”

Teteh has two caps with one goal for Sierre Leone, and Mohammed has 3 caps with one goal for his country.

It’s hard to know exactly how good these two players are, but it’s right in line with Newcastle’s new scouting policy of watching young players across Europe, and then bringing them to Newcastle, where they can then be coached to bring the very best out of them.

This is probably some good news, and it’s certainly encouraging to know the Tyneside club are scouting so many players in Europe these days.

I suggested in January that we should be looking at Teteh Bangura, though he was a quality player then and still think he is a quality player now. We really should be looking at Per Ciljan Skjelbred too if we are scouting Scandinavia.

That article from le10sport website is confusing,after translating it,the best i could make of it was that there had only been 1 solid enquiry about Dmitri Payet and it wasnt from Liverpool or PSG,thereby leaving Newcastle as the most likely party. But if we are after Payet then we are definitely not signing Barnetta because they have very similar styles. Maybe the reported interest in Matuidi was just a smokescreen to snatch the highly sought Payet? (makes more sense than signing 13m rated Matuidi as mere backup to Tiote)

Not being funny like. But other day someone said about the need to make SJP a fortress feared throughout the PL. Just been listening to AC/DC ‘Thunderstruck’ and Brian Johnson is a Geordie. We should blatantly be playing that over the PA before matches. Imagine all the Toon fans chanting ‘THUNDER’ so loud the other team can hear it fromt he dressing room. Just a thought like

Old news, i posted this as a comment last week, and that just flew right over everybodies head… Would both be great signings, I think Tetteh is the better of the 2 though? Mohammed is better feeding off the stikers

Havent seen Payet or Marvin Martin play before but judging by some of the comments on here they both sound tasty. How do they both compare to Nzogbia? Similar positions? Are they attacking? Direct? More fancy? Passing ability?

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see who they bring in. I like all the speculation but to be fair we are all completely guessing as to who is more likely to sign.

@ Gorskino10 – my mistake I though was 26, but agree wages may be an issue.

I seem to remember we though/were told by the papers – Nzog was lazy, indisciplined, did not tackle back, and was always looking for a move to a bigger club, and the rumor was, that he was a disruptive influence in the dressing room. -Or so we were told, now he want’s back – or so we are told.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
